Salt resistant mortars: Present knowledge and future perspectives

Salt crystallization damage is one of the most common causes of decay for bedding, pointing and plastering mortar. Attempts to tackle the problem have been mainly focused on increasing the mechanical strength of the mortar, by the replacement of lime with (PTL) cement, or on reducing the moisture transport capacity, by the addition of silicone...
